Do I need SSN/ITIN to apply for my company’s EIN?
Expedite your company’s EIN process with SSNs or ITINs to get it in 1-3 business days instead of 20-30. Provide these details during your application on our website or through a secure link we’ll provide. If we’ve started your application, inform us promptly if you have an SSN.
I have an SSN, is there any possibility that you can NOT expedite my EIN?
If additional IRS verification is needed, we’ll require you to sign an SS4 form, extending the EIN process to 20-30 business days.
It’s crucial for tax compliance that we have your correct SSN. If you forgot to provide it and we’ve already faxed your SS4 form, we may still attempt to obtain the EIN online. However, this could lead to your company having multiple EINs. In such cases, after receiving your EIN letters, you must request IRS consolidation to avoid tax filing issues.
I have an ITIN, but I wasn’t able to expedite my EIN. What happened?
The ITINs issued before 2013 with middle digits of 88 (e.g., 9XX-88-XXXX) will expire at the end of 2020. Additionally, ITINs with middle digits of 90, 91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99 assigned before 2013 and not renewed will also expire at the end of 2020 if not used on a federal tax return at least once in the last three years.
If your ITIN is affected, you won’t be able to apply for an EIN online. Instead, you will need to fax the SS4 form to the IRS, and then the regular processing will follow.
Please note, when faxing the SS4 form, the IRS typically takes around 20 to 30 business days to review and assign the EIN for your company.
